  My posts are coming up in anti-chronological order, and I don’t know why? Is there an option I ticked that made it come out anti-chronological? How do I fix it?
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  All posts in blogs are displayed in reverse chronological order and this cannot be changed. returning readers come to read fresh content. They are not desirous of scrolling through hundreds of pages to find new content. In blog new content is on top. Once a blog has more than a few posts the structure will make sense to you. The only other option is to create a book-like structure. http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/

  :O My bad! I meant they’re coming in chronologically!
  (Sorry for that misunderstanding)

  It looks to me as though they are in correct order — your first post is toward the bottom of the page, and the second post is at the top. This is as it should be. I do notice that you have July 24 on both of them, but the posted date is the 23rd for the first post & the 24th for the second. Sometimes when posts are created on the same day and the user changes the time zone in between posts, the posts show up out of order, too.

  As timethief says, once you’ve posted more, it will make more sense to you. :-)

  And if you have not yet set your blog to your local timezone, go to settings > general in your dashboard and do so. On the list if you scroll up, you will find city names you can choose from.
